Shelter in Transition

Through the years the shelter has taken on many forms and experienced many changes. We have elvolved from "South Shore Ferret Lady" to "South Shore Ferret Care" and added our non-profit portion of "Fortunate Ferrets 5013C Charity".

At the end of June 2015 we find ourselves at the end of our lease at the South Weymouth location. It has been a very successful three years and enabled us to rescue, care for, adopt, or bid to the bridge over a thousand ferrets in 15 years. The accolades go to all of the shelter volunteers, adoptive families and care givers.

And so we are transitioning again to meet our new goals.

HOSPICE FERRETS: We have placed the hospice ferrets at three major foster homes and will continue to provide foster care training classes to folks interested in fostering. There will always be a need to care for hospice ferrets and we will continue to do fundraisers and accept donations to meet our vet bills.
